Breakouts
for Dec 23rd: The
first pick, CIEN,
is featured on my stockchart
list. The stock still
looks to be riding its early earnings forecast,
but today's higher volume breakout completed a close
over the 200-day moving average. Supporting the price move
was a new high in the MACD trigger line, rising slow stochastics,
and on-balance volume on the verge of a breakout. The first
point of contention will be $3.85 resistance, but there should
be sufficient momentum to take this to the next resistance
level at $5.50. The second pick, GDTI,
originally featured as a breakout on Oct
22nd but
was stopped out on the resulting correction. The stock has
once again challenged its near term highs, led by a breakout
in
on-balance-volume,
but
I
would remain cautious in this relatively thinly traded issue.
Patient
buyers can wait for pullback to the low $5s using GTC buy
orders to accumulate shares. Given recent accumulation the
company has been relatively PR
light. The
third pick, IMNR,
has enjoyed a series of buying spikes interspaced with periods of light trading.
As in previous jumps in price it should be possible to buy shares on a pullback
to nearest support, in this case $1.32. Technicals are well positioned, with
the MACD trigger line generating a "buy" signal today, on-balance-volume breaking
to new highs, and a rising slow stochastic which has yet to reach overbought
levels -
favoring a continuation of the latest move.
